Western Flavor

Begin with a fantastic image fromWildlife Enterprises stampedwith black Ranger's Archival ink.Why archival? So when you smoothout the colored pencil with a stump soakedin baby oil the black ink doesn't run.A non archival water based inkwill "move" and smear when it getwet with the baby oil.

Cut the finished image to a rectangle,punch the corners and sponge the edgeswith a dark brown ink.Layer onto a dark brown card stock,trimming the left side with a decorative scissors.

The faux snake skin is also layered ontodark brown card stock withthe bottom edge cut with thesame decorative scissors as thehat and gloves image.Place three brads at the top andsome type of decorative westernembellishment at the bottom.

Attach the faux snakeskin andstamped image as shown in the picture.I used a beige parchment card stock formy card base. The edges ofthe card have also been sponged withdark brown ink.

This is me!

This blog has been a way for me to share my love of paper crafting. If you scroll down through the posts you will note that a lot of the cards have scripture quotes as their focal point. So it is in my life, God is my focal point, then the rest falls into place.
Occasionally I also share parts of my life as a woman who has always lived on a ranch. The daily presentation of God's glorious creation are a constant source of praise and pleasure for me. Please enjoy your time on my blog and leave a comment. I love the comments.
